I have to give credit to Michael Bay. He actually seems to be trying hard to improve from the abomination that was Revenge of the Fallen. The director has given us an update on Transformers 3 on his site:
Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I’ve always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from “Hangover” and the Doctor from “Knocked Up.”
Yep, Oscar-winner Frances McDormand and 2-time Oscar nominee John Malkovich are in a Michael Bay movie. McDormand will be playing the National Intelligence Director and Malkovich will play Sam Witwicky’s first boss. He announced pre-shoots will start next month and the official shoot will span Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow and China.
Transformers 3 hits theaters July 1st, 2011 whether you like it or not.
Do these cast additions make you want to see Transformers 3?
